Thursday 1st April 2021 LO: To explore how a film is made and the various industry roles. 20th Century Fox, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Sony, and Walt Disney  Studios These companies dominate all other film companies because they own their own production, distribution and exhibition companies so they get to keep most of the money made from the film. Other small production companies do not own distribution and exhibition companies so therefore they have to share a lot of the money made from the film. 1. Script writer 2. Editor 3. Producer 4.

Thursday 18th March 2021 LO: To effectively develop an idea for a disaster movie. Genre Conventions The characters 2012, World War Z and The day after tomorrow were trying to escape and both of them were not natural disasters. The disaster in The impossible and Contagion was a natural disaster. Most of them are set in the city and are trying to save their family. The characters are usually panicking and there is a lot of destruction. My disaster film It is about humans invading aliens and destroying their planet and the aliens have to leave their planet to escape from the humans as they could be killed by the humans.  It is set on a planet that is not earth. It is set in the future. The humans would fly to the planet in a rocket to see if there are aliens there and when they find the aliens they try to kill them so the aliens try to escape from the humans.  The message behind my film is that things aren't always as they seem. Tuesday 23rd March 2021 Equilibrium: The aliens ar...

Tuesday 9th March 2021                            Lo: To explore the disaster movie genre. The movie poster makes Godzilla look very big compared to everything else and it shows that the buildings have been ruined which could tell us that Godzilla had destroyed the buildings which tells us that the disaster in the film is caused by Godzilla. The title of the film tells us that the film is probably about a virus. The characters in the pictures all have serious expressions on their face which implies that it is a serious situation. The pictures also look quite dramatic which could mean that the film is quite dramatic.  In this poster there is a large object that looks like it could be a space craft which is bigger that all of the buildings and it is hovering over a city and one of the buildings looks as if it is exploding being taken away. This could tell us that this film is about aliens or anything extra-terrestr...

 Thursday 4th March 2021 All of the sounds I could hear in the clip: The tv, zip, toilet flushing, brushing teeth, shutting the cabinet, the draw opening, spreading the jam on the toast, tapping the mug with the spoon, closing the fridge, the characters speaking and breathing and sound effects when he moves something.
